Persona Charts

Tips for Interpretation

The following recommendations
are simply suggestions which need to be tested, and which are meant
to help you to explore unknown territory: your own inner world.

1) The most important unconscious personality
is the ruler of the first house of the birth chart. If you
have, for example, a libra ascendant, the main thing is to explore
your Venus persona chart. There's always a good surprise in the
persona chart of the ruler of the ascendant.

2) The persona chart of the Moon informs
you about the energies of the feminine side of your psyche. Just
like the birth horoscope can be called the yang horoscope, we describe
the Moon persona chart as the yin horoscope, its female counterpart.
To access and understand her, you have to look at feelings buried
deep inside.

3) The ascendant of a persona chart
shows the deepest sphere of the unconscious which has to be found
and understood by this personality. The ascendant of an unconscious
inner personality also shows the forces which want to come to light,
and which want to make their way to the surface with a great boost.

4) A persona chart's Sun is always
considered the ego of this inner personality. But not THE ego! Saturn,
for example, possesses an ego, a will to realise itself which speaks
the words "I want ...". Part of this persona chart ego is known
from the birth chart, because the Sun of the persona chart always
occupies the place which is held by the planet itself in the birth
chart. However, the house placing of this persona ego is completely
unknown. Just for the sake of finding out the house placing of the
persona ego within its own chart, creating a persona chart makes
sense. Not only does it tell us how this personality articulates
itself, but also where it does so, i.e. in which sphere of life.

5) The midheaven of a persona chart shows
which fate the individual personalities encounter here on earth.
It is the quintessence of the path which leads from the "unconscious"
(ascendant) to the "light of consciousness" (midheaven). Whether
this path is followed to the very end by the individual cannot be
known. Whether the inner personalities come to consciousness, appears
to depend on the intensity of the effort put into the venture, and
on individual achievement.

It seems to us that a
human who has integrated all inner personalities into full consciousness
would have finished his way here on earth. We might deduce a law
from this: Each inner personality I have found, renders my world
poorer by one person. If the world outside does not owe me any more
(inner) personalities, it may well be that it has fulfilled its
function and may I leave.
